Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Champions League Group G clash between Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid have already secured their place in the next round of the competition, but still need a point to guarantee their place as group winners. Madrid defeated Roma 2-0 last time out at the Stadio Olimpico with a composed performance. Santiago Solari will be wary of CSKA, who inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Los Blancos in the reverse fixture in Moscow. Viktor Goncharenko's side were eliminated from contention for a place in the round of 16, but can reach the Europa League by outperforming Viktoria Plzen's result this evening.
REAL MADRID (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois; Alvaro Odriozola, Jesus Vallejo, Javi Sanchez, Marcelo; Marcos Llorente, Federico Valverde; Marco Asensio, Isco, Vinicius Junior; Karim Benzema.
SUBS: Keylor Navas, Daniel Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez.
CSKA MOSCOW (3-4-3): Igor Akinfeev; Kirill Nababkin, Rodrigo Becao, Hordur Magnusson; Mario Fernandes, Kristijan Bistrovic, Nikola Vlasic, Georgy Schennikov; Ivan Oblyakov, Amor Sigurdsson, Fedor Chalov.
SUBS: Ilya Pomazun, Nikita Chernov, Abel Hernandez, Takuma Nishimura, Konstantin Kuchaev, Jaka Bijol, Timur Zhamaletdinov.
CSKA have made one change to their side that beat Yenisey in the Russian Premier League at the weekend. Oblyakov gets the nod to start in the final third ahead of Zhamaletdinov, with Chalov continuing to spearhead the attack through the middle.
Madrid's young defence has been exposed by the Russian side this evening. They have been promising in the final third, but Jesus Vallejo and Javi Sanchez had their confidence drained just before the break. Solari may have to bring Raphael Varane off the bench to shore up his backline.
CSKA Moscow hold a stunning 2-0 lead over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu at the break. Santiago Solari's men paid the price for their missed opportunities earlier in the contest and are trailing the Russian outfit. Fedor Chalov put the visitors ahead in the 37th minute, curling a 20-yard strike out of the reach of Thibaut Courtois before Georgy Schennikov doubled their advantage, converting from close range after Mario Fernandes had been denied. Viktor Goncharenko's men are on course for a famous result.
Madrid are next in action against Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga on Saturday before the Club World Cup. CSKA Moscow are not in action until March when the Russian Premier League resumes after the winter break.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
